Graphic from Councilor Ruthzee Louijeune’s office with a light blue background. Header reads: What You Can Do To Continue to Support TPS Holders. Two numbered action items are listed. The first, labeled Call the members of the U.S. Congress in bold magenta text, urges readers to co-sponsor Rep. Pressley’s House Discharge Petition 15 and extend TPS for Haitians. A sample script follows, reading: “My name is ______, I’m calling to advocate for Haitians in the U.S with TPS Status across the country as the Federal Administration is seeking to end Temporary Protected Status. I urge Representative _____ to co-sponsor Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley’s House Discharge Petition 15, which would allow a vote on House Resolution 965 to extend TPS for Haitians. This is about protecting families, upholding our values, and standing on the right side of history. Please contact Congresswoman Pressley’s office to become a co-sponsor. Thank you for your consideration.” The second action item, labeled Call the White House switchboard in bold magenta text, provides the number (202) 456-1414 and urges readers to preserve TPS. The Ruthzee Louijeune, Boston City Councilor At-Large logo appears at the bottom.

Jesse Jackson, Civil Rights Leader Who Helped Launch Progressive Movement, Dead At 84 Jackson's presidential runs in 1984 and 1988 played a significant role in shaping the modern Democratic Party.

" But his campaigns for president in 1984 and 1988 helped create the image of what the modern Democratic Party seeks to be but rarely seems to achieve: a multiracial coalition of voters dedicated to economic fairness." RIP Jesse Jackson.

Andrea James for Governor

You are not! So far the only alternative candidate we're aware of who isn't a Republican is Andrea James. She's a lawyer, organizer, & formerly incarcerated person who is running as an independent.

Two cities under siege Remarkably similar scenes from Boston and Minneapolis, 260 years apart, show a federal government betraying its founding principles.

ICYMI: I looked through a published archive of Boston newspapers from the 1760s, when British troops were stationed in the city.

The accounts read remarkably similar to what's happening in Minneapolis.

Important Calls to Make TODAY - mailchi.mp/jpprogressiv... A big list of actions and events for us this week.

Text reads: I just learned, via a LUCE message that Gov. Healey is getting more pro-ICE calls than against ICE calls. Please call her office and support ICE out of MA. Call her office at 617-725-4005. You can leave a voicemail with your phone number, address and message. Thank you,

Passed on by my lively neighborhood group!💗

@massgovernor.bsky.social needs to hear from us, y’all 🫡

617-725-4005

@maindivisible.bsky.social @mass50501.bsky.social @progressivemass.bsky.social @jonathancohn.bsky.social @andrewqmr.bsky.social

A reminder that Maura Healey is the ONLY Democratic governor in New England governor to have a collaboration agreement with ICE.

Healey, despite her words, continues to use OUR tax dollars to provide free labor to ICE.

Let her know it's time to de-ICE MA.

www.mass.gov/info-details...

This is beautiful redundancy, thank you!

Tell the Senate: Not a penny more for ICE brutality | Indivisible

Call your senator and tell them: Not a penny more for ICE brutality! indivisible.org/actions/ice-...

MA residents: Sens Warren & Markey are already with us here but you can call them to say thanks and to say that we should not only not FUND ICE, we should ABOLISH and PROSECUTE ICE.

Eyes on ICE: Document and Record · No Kings On Saturday, federal agents horrifically shot and killed 37-year-old Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse who cared for veterans, in the Eat Street neighborhood of south Minneapolis after brutally beating him in...

Tonight! Eyes on ICE: Document and Record, 8pm
www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember:

- Organized a city wide general strike
- Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence
- Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE
- Flipped public opinion against ICE

‘They know what they are doing is wrong.’ ICE now says they can force their way into our homes. - The Boston Globe Gutting the Fourth Amendment just as America marks 250 years of independence is a little too on the nose, even for this administration.

“ICE leaders…are trying to keep it secret because they know what they are doing is wrong,” said Carol Rose, head of the American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts. “It is just indicative of how out of control ICE has become.” www.bostonglobe.com/2026/01/24/m...

Sorry to miss this question but the organizations sponsoring are listed. IMC was one but it was a larger group.

Rapid Response meeting tonight, 6pm. Join a coalition of unions & community orgs to learn about actions to protect our communities.
